Bon Appetit does it again--a great resource for entertaining.......2002-01-22

With my busy schedule, I dont have the luxury to test new dishes before I entertain. I know I can always count on recipes from Bon Appetit cookbooks and this one is no exception. This book is not only a cookbook but a menu planner and resource guide. Last weekend I had 10 people over and served the following from the book: spicy shrimp in snow peas, deviled eggs with smoked salmon and green onions, spinach bacon spirals, and layered enchilada casserole. All got rave reviews. In the fall I used dishes from the barbecue menu. This book gives menus and planning tips for a number of entertaining ideas--from Saturday potluck to help yourself brunch to drinks and eats.

I highly recommend this book--get it anyway you can. But you can't have mine.....

Entertaining can be easy!.......2000-05-27

This cookbook really does make entertaining easy. Not only does it offer delicious recipes that we've come to expect from Bon Appetit but it organizes them in such a way that your menu and time easily managed.

There are three sections which are themed around a particular type of event: Occasions, Instant Entertaining, and Get-Togethers. Within each section, there are menus for specific functions (Celebration Dinner, Elegant Shower, Romantic Dinner, Kid's Birthday Party, Big Anniversary, Potluck Housewarming Party, etc . . .)

The feature I like the most is the timeline for each function's menus. For example, for the Kid's Birthday Party, send out invitations, shop for nonperishable food items and paper goods, decorations, and candles three weeks ahead. Two weeks ahead, bake and freeze cake layers for birthday cake, etc . . . .

One other item to mention is there are pictures of every recipe (something I find very useful).

I recommend this book wholeheartedly. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Book Description

A quick and concise guide to currency options
An understanding of currency options is essential for those working in investment and foreign exchange. A Currency Options Primer sets out to give readers a clear guide to how the currency option market functions, offering practical advice on mastering the necessary components and concepts for fully understanding the workings of this market.

Download Description

"In recent years, currencies of major industrial nations have fluctuated widely in response to trade imbalances, interest rates, commodity prices, and political uncertainty. The pressure to maintain currency parity has led to the breakdown of many exchange rate mechanisms, and has forced the need for active foreign exchange hedging decisions to prevent the erosion of profit margins. To counteract this worldwide market volatility, currency options were developed as an alternative risk management tool to the spot and forward foreign exchange market, and owe their existence to the demands of foreign exchange users for alternative hedging and exposure management techniques. This essentially practical book gives a thorough and comprehensive guide to currency options, with clear explanations of the technicalities. It should become recommended reading for many business courses, and will be of interest to new recruits and junior members in investment and merchant banks; to Forex specialist firms; to Treasury institutions; and to investors who require a quick guide within a trading and sales environment. "

Could be condensed into 30 pages.......2007-02-14

Save your money and buy "Foreign Exchange: A Practical Guide to the FX Markets" by Tim Weithers instead. That book covers the main content of this book in one chapter and does so in a much more readable way.

Note that both of these books would really only be useful to newcomers to the FX markets. Professional traders should likely skip both titles.

extremely basic.......2006-10-30

there is this phrase in the download review "...with clear explanations of the technicalities...". I find that to be misleading and wanted to write this review. this book is only for those who never ever had anything to do with any options, and are also allergic to math. barely touches on the technicalities of fx options.

Way of the Turtle: The Secret Methods that Turned Ordinary People into Legendary Traders

ASIN: 0934380864

Book Description

Many books which attempt to explain the intricacies of option trading leave the reader with glazed over eyes and a look of bewilderment. This new book by a veteran options trader is the rare exception.

It starts with the basics and goes through the most advanced strategies and trading techniques, and explains all the concepts relating to options in such clear, straightforward language that the reader will gain a thorough understanding of this complex subject.

Designed by the author for use in his options trading seminars, he has liberally illustrated each point with highly effective graphs and charts, which make each principle he is teaching crystal clear.

Book Description

The Financial Futures Primer provides the reader with an introduction to the futures markets in general and financial futures in particular. All of the futures contracts explored in the text are approached by a common pricing framework-the proposition that rational prices preclude arbitrage profits.To ensure that the mathematical demands placed upon the reader are minimal, there is an uncomplicated, applied explanation provided for each topic. As each concept or valuation technique is introduced, it is explained in detail, the relevant formula is presented, and a calculation example is presented.The text also emphasises the use of financial futures in risk management. While the Financial Futures Primer features ample examples of speculative strategies that can be implemented with these instruments, the focus of the application examples is the management of pre-existing risk.This brief, yet comprehensive, overview of the complex topics surrounding futures makes the Financial Futures Primer a valuable resource for professionals as well as an ideal supplement for advanced undergraduate courses in finance and economics and MBA level investments courses.

Book Description

The Options Primer provides a brief yet comprehensive introduction to the complex issues surrounding options. To help the reader develop an understanding of the factors that affect option pricing, the text employs a building block approach.The first three chapters explore the essential institutional features of the US options market, trading strategies and their payoffs, and develop boundaries to specify the ranges in which exact option prices must lie. Chapters Four and Five focus on formal pricing models to specify option prices. By moving from the Binomial Model to the Black-Scholes Model and Merton Model, the reader gradually develops an understanding of how movements in stock price affect option pricing.The text is accompanied by OPTVAL!, an IBM PC program which computes virtually all of the model prices and examples in the text. Where applicable, the program can also graph option relationships. These capabilities make OPTVAL! an effective learning tool to illustrate and explore the option pricing relationships in the text , while saving the user time that would otherwise be spent performing tedious computations.The texts brief, yet comprehensive overview of the complex issues surrounding options, the building block approach toward the factors affecting option pricing, and OPTVAL! software make The Options Primer a valuable resource for professionals as well as an ideal supplement to undergraduate and graduate finance and economics courses.

Issues are complex. More suitable for advance taders. But I am getting to that stage, so the book came at the right time. Software is great too.

Zelkin Marvin H.
Manufacturer: Trader's Press, Inc
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback
ASIN: B000UF3EJE

Book Description

This volume deals with the problems associated with the design and reform of the tax system. The traditional theory of optimal taxation and reform ignores some important, real-world constraints, such as transaction and administration costs, demographic changes and, in general, dynamic features and political or institutional constraints. Design and Reform of Taxation Policy focuses attention on some of these critical issues.
The book is divided into two sections: the first deals mainly with theoretical issues, while the second tackles the problem of implementation of tax reforms with the main emphasis on policy evaluation.
Design and Reform of Taxation Policy is required reading for post-graduate students and researchers who have some familiarity with the subject and makes an important contribution to bridging the gap between theory and practice in the area of design and reform of the taxation system.

Awesome insight for all hearing parents of deaf children.......1999-09-11

A great read for everyone interested in the challenges facing hearing parents of deaf children. Alandra's Lilacs was engaging to read and I did not put the book down until I was finished. This book really demonstrated that deafness only creates a new way to communicate and is not a disability. EXCELLENT!!!!

A must read for any hearing parent of a deaf child........1999-08-24

This book is a beautiful insight into the real life trials and choices that are faced when raising a successful deaf child. A must read for all hearing parents of deaf children as well as all deaf educators.
